Current Research Interests
The overarching goal of my research is to understand how the complex constellation of auditory brain structures works in harmony to enable important human functions, including speech, language, and music processing. Moreover, it is my goal to characterize the disruption of normal auditory system function in clinical populations, and use this knowledge to aid in the remediation of these disorders.
